Flurries Fury – April 7, 2007 Recap

The morning started great with four players enjoying a pre-game meal at Einstein Bagels. The Power bagel was the Bagel of Choice this morning. After some brief Masters talk and Aggie bashing with the Gillispie shadiness, we headed out to the field. The Tour of Dallas (Bicycle race) took precedence of our normal route to the field, making our normal tour to the field a bit of an exploration, but luckily everyone persevered and made it to the field.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that the field was 100% cut this week and somehow still hard as a rock… even after the down pours of rain we have experienced over the past week.

Is this the effect of global warming?

Is the earth warming from the inside?

Those are some thoughts from my enemy, the inventor of the internet himself, Al Gore. Ok, enough of politics… back to the game!

To quote today’s game MVP;

“Today is the best weather possible to play football!”

That from mouth of Hunter Satterfield, who couldn’t be more correct! Temperature in the high 30’s, intermittent snow flurries, and slight north breezes made today's game reminiscent of those played at Lambeau Field.

Adam “Favre” Sandwick should have flourished under such conditions, but unfortunately he resembled the Brett Favre circa 2006, and not 1996.

“It was the nervous energy of playing in the Lambeau-esk conditions,”

Sandwick explained in the post game interviews. He goes on to state,

“You better have enjoyed my play today, because it won’t happen again! I’ll be ready to do it big next week!! You don’t know what I’m talking about but my team knows what I’m talking about! All day, all night!”

This reporter is unsure if even the Florida Gators NCAA Basketball team knows what Mr. Sandwick is talking about… perhaps it was just the bitter taste of a loss that was affecting his communication skills today.

Props to all the players who made it out today along with the weekly awards:

- Derek - (Top quarterback of the Day)
- Avery - (Fastest Blitz Counter)
- Tim D.- (O-Line Player of the Week)
- “Blue Shoes” James - (Best Dressed… I mean, it’s in the nickname!)
- Matt “Gimme” Moore – (Best trash talker… most of it done before the game)
- Hunter S. - (April 7th MVP)
- “Favre” Sandwick - (Best “Shut Down” Cornerback)
- Farrellio (Best Near-Miss Career Ending Injury) ***

*** The league will review procedures necessary to make the field more “player friendly,” including options of padding or removing the 30 foot steel light fixtures… Stay tuned***

Today’s match was a tight; back and forth battle of straight four on four plays. It had been many weeks since our last full game of equal strength teams.

“It was a story of one team hoping to win, verses a team that knew it would!” (Quote taken, with permission of the National Football League, from the 1993 Superbowl Champion Dallas Cowboys Year in Review video)

This week’s MVP, Hunter S., threw for 4 touchdowns and caught 3 more! Not bad for a man who spends most of his week catching vomit out of his sons mouth!

Hunter’s team enjoyed victory of both games played, winning 7-5 and 4-3. (First game is first to 7, second game is first to 4).

Looking forward to next Saturday, where “Favre” Sandwick has promised revenge!

Also, next week will be “Blue Shoes” James last week, so come see him in action for the last time. This is what happens when you get engaged; you can’t play and have to go to Europe instead.

Make it a great week gents, and remember…
